Chapter Two: The Dare

It was the end of the day, when Kagome walked out of her 4th period class, Language Arts. Sesshoumaru had been in all of her classes and it seemed like he was watching her from time to time. It sort of freaked her out, but it was also exciting knowing that the hottest guy in school was checking her out. She was confused by it a little because she was not popular at all but he was checking her out like he wanted to get to know her. Maybe she was looking into this way to much? Yeah that must be it.

Turning the corner, Kagome bumped into someone, knocking her books out of her hand. Looking into golden eyes, Kagome thought it was Sesshoumaru but then just realized that it was his jackass of a brother, Inuyasha. Letting out a frustrated sigh, Kagome bent down to pick up her books. When she was about to leave after gathering her stuff, Inuyasha grabbed a hold of her arm and made her drop her books again. Pinning her up against the wall, a group of students slowly crowed around them.

"Don't you have something to say to me, wench?" he asked baring his fangs at her. He was just minding his own business when this wench bumped into him. And then had the audacity to walk right past him without saying she was sorry. If he had let her get away with bumping into him without saying sorry, that would give other people the impression they could do it too.

Kagome winced when he tightened his grip on her arm. She didn't do anything but bump into the asshole, and now he was acting as if she cut off his hair. Kagome heard him ask her a question and glared at him, which he was shocked to see. 'Most girls would be terrified or start to cry, not glare at Me.' he thought impressed to see at least one person in the entire school had the guts enough to glare at him.

"Yeah as a matter of fact I do. LET GO OF ME!" she yelled directly in his left ear. Inuyasha quickly let her go and massage his abused ear, whimpering as half of his head started to hurt. With his good ear, he could hear students around them snickering and whispering things about him being overpowered by a weak human. A female no less.

"You bitch!" he yelled, eyes starting bleeding red, raising his hand to slap her. He had to put her in her place and redeem his man hood. Kagome closed her eyes waiting for the blow and when it didn't come, she opened her eyes to see someone had caught Inuyasha's hand. Kagome's eyes widened when she found out who it was.

'Sesshoumaru? What the hell?' she thought disbelievingly. She knew he liked to look at her, but she never thought he would save her from his fucked up brother! By now everyone was crowed around them waiting to see what would happen next between the two brothers. Inuyasha yanked his hand away from Sesshoumaru's grasp. He looked as if he was betrayed. Sesshoumaru was his brother and here he was taking up for someone he didn't even know.

"So what, you're going to stick up for this bitch and not me?" Inuyasha snarled. Kagome glared at Inuyasha for calling her a bitch behind his back. Sesshoumaru looked over Inuyasha's shoulder to look at Kagome, who was glaring at his brother and smirked.

"Yes, I do. You know you're not supposed to hit a girl. I thought father taught you better." He said, folding his arms over his chest. Inuyasha snored.

"She ain't no girl, Sesshoumaru" Inuyasha said laughing. Kagome had never been so insulted in her entire life. Who the hell did he think he was?

'Not a girl? I'll show you' Kagome thought angrily as she tapped Inuyasha on his shoulder. Still laughing Inuyasha turned around and Kagome smiled sweetly at him, before kicking him in the balls. Inuyasha let out a loud yelp before falling down on the floor, holding his injured appendage. Sesshoumaru had to hold his own laugher, as the crowd around them laughed at Inuyasha. Kagome huffed and picked up her books again. Stepping over the crumpled form of Inuyasha, who was whimpering, she went over to Sesshoumaru.

"Thanks for not letting him hit me." She said smiling. He really did look gorgeous up close. He shrugged but ended up with a smirk on his face.

"No problem." Nodding, Kagome pushed her way through the students who started to close in on Inuyasha. As soon as she got out, Sango was resting up against the lockers; she looked at her and got off of them.

"Hey, what was going on back there?" she asked gesturing towards the crowd of laughing students. Some of them were leaving because they had to catch their bus, but some stayed to tease Inuyasha. Who still hadn't fully recovered yet by the looks of it.

'I didn't know I kicked him that HARD!' Kagome thought as she snickered quietly to herself. Kagome and Sango went to Kagome's locker. Kagome didn't have to worry about catching the bus, Sango had a car and they would go to her house first, Sango's next and then to Rin's.

"So what happened back there?" Sango asked again, leaning up against her locker. When she got out of her physics class, she heard some screaming or something like that and went to see what was going on. She saw a crowd of people and tried to get through, but some of the jocks were way to strong.

'They're probably taking steroids, fuckin meatheads' Sango thought bitterly, recalling one of them pushing her back.

"I bumped into Inuyasha and I was about to go pass him, when he pinned me against the wall. He almost slapped me after I yelled in his ear to let me go." Kagome said, picking up her Math book and placing it in her book bag. Sango gasped and grabbed Kagome by the chin, checking her for any marks. Kagome wiggled out of Sango's grasp and laughed.

"He didn't hit me, Sango. Sesshoumaru came in time to stop him." Kagome finished.

Sango sighed in relief as Kagome continued to pack her bags. Zipping up her book bag and shutting her locker, Kagome turned to Sango. "Ready to go?" she asked. Sango nodded and they made their way out of the school, heading for Sango's black jeep.

Sesshoumaru secretly watched as Kagome walked away from him to her friend after saying thanks. He couldn't believe how Inuyasha embarrassed himself again. Wait until they got home and their father finds out that his youngest was about to hit a girl. He stood against the door of a closed classroom as the students slowly disappeared from Inuyasha, to go home. Inuyasha got up and rubbed his sore crotch.

'I can't believe that wench kneed me in the balls. She is so going to pay for embarrassing me.' Inuyasha silently vowed. Sesshoumaru grabbed his fallen book bag and gave one look in Inuyasha's direction that clearly said: 'Get yourself together quick, because I'm going to leave you.' Turning to leave, Sesshoumaru heard Inuyasha groan as he walked stiffly to his locker to get his book bag. Exiting the school building and going to his car, Sesshoumaru waited a good 5 minutes before Inuyasha got in.

"You know what you did today was unacceptable, right?" Sesshoumaru asked turning out of the school's parking lot. Even though his attention was on the road, he could feel his brother's angry glare.

"What I did was unacceptable? What you did was fucked up! How could you take someone you clearly don't knows' side and not mine? I'm family she's not!" Inuyasha yelled.

Sesshoumaru tighten his grip on the steering wheel. "It doesn't matter if I know her or not. You had no fucking right to attempt to hit a female!" he snarled. "I don't want to hear you say a single word until we get home."

It wasn't as if he was taking orders from Sesshoumaru, but there were times where he could get violent and right now Inuyasha didn't feel like going to the hospital. So he just sat there, in the car with his fuming brother, being quite until they got home.

(--)

"So who's going to be there, you never did tell me" Kagome asked as Sango parked her jeep next to her mother's car.

"You didn't ask silly." Sango said turning off the car and getting out. Kagome huffed and got out of the car. Sango followed Kagome to the front door, opening it; they were hit greeted with the smell of food.

"Rin, Kana, Kagura, Livi, me and you" Sango answered, walking into the kitchen.

Kagome followed her and saw her mother in the kitchen making dinner. Mrs. Higurashi was wearing a white sleeping gown that had thin straps and fitted her form perfectly, with her hair and a messy pony tail.

"Mama, it's in the afternoon and you're still wearing your night clothes?" Kagome asked teasingly. Mrs. Higurashi turned around with a wooden spoon, spaghetti sauce covering it.

Her mother smiled and shook her head. "Yeah well, when you're comfortable you're comfortable." She said turning around, continuing to stir the sauce.

"Hey mama, is it okay if I go over to Rin's house for a sleepover?" Kagome asked. She knew her mother would say yes, but she wanted to ask anyway. Seeing her mother nod, Kagome went over and hugged her mother from behind, before taking Sango upstairs to her room.

'Kids.' Mrs. Higurashi thought as she smiled, continuing to fix dinner.

In Kagome's Room

"So what are you going to do about Sesshoumaru?" Sango asked sitting down on Kagome's bed.

"What are you taking about?" she asked from her closet. Picking out a pair of dark blue jeans that flare out at the ankles, Kagome placed them on a near by chair and pulled out a white tank top and sheer light pink sweater. Going over to her dresser, she pulled out a pink and white stripped tank top with thin straps and white boy shorts with pink butterflies on them.

"You know damn well what I'm taking about! From what you tell me, he likes you. And I have a strong feeling that you like him too." Sango said studying her nails. Kagome gasped.

"I so don't like him! I don't even know him and you say that I like him." Kagome said taking out her big camouflage bag and started putting her nightclothes, underwear, toothbrush, brush, clothes she was wearing tomorrow, lotion, deodorant, and shoes.

"I can tell when you like a guy, Kagome." Sango said matter-of-factly. Kagome shook her head and zipped up her bag. Opening the door, with the bag over her shoulder, Kagome looked at Sango.

"You ready to go or what?" she asked. Sango sighed and nodded her head and got off her friend's comfortable bed.

It was around 8 o'clock when everyone met up at Rin's house. They gave each other hugs and went up to Rin's room, which was a bright pink. Sitting around in a circle with 3 boxes of pizza in the middle, Rin was the first to say something.

"Hey you guys, do you want to play truth or dare." She asked. They hadn't changed into their night clothes yet. Rin was wearing a red tank top with the words 'I'm not a playboy bunny' in white letters and light blue shorts. She had her short brown hair in a small ponytail. Rin went to the same school as them, but didn't have the same classes. So even in between classes, they didn't see her. Rin was the quiet type, she never got in trouble nor did she ever get detention.

"Sure" the rest of the girls replied at the same time.

"So who goes first?" asked Livi. She was in the same grade as they were and was some what like Rin, but different. Instead of quiet all of the time like Rin, she was some times loud and liked to talk to anyone that was willing to talk to her. She had brown eyes like Rin and had long chestnut hair that was currently in a high ponytail. Livi was wearing a white shirt and a black jeans skirt. She did go to their school; she just didn't want to come today.

"The person who wanted to play the game in the first place," Kana said. Kana was a different story. She was a mirror demon, meaning that she could suck someone's soul out of their body using a mirror. She had flowing white hair and dark brown eyes that almost looked black. When you take one look at her, you would think that she was evil or antisocial, but she wasn't. Kana was actually nice. She didn't mind helping a friend out when they were in need and was very loyal. Kana was wearing a purple shirt and khaki shorts. It was a shame that she didn't go to the same school as they did.

"Okay then. Sango truth or dare?" Rin asked.

"Dare" she replied, without hesitation.

"I dare you to grope Miroku the next time you see him, and Kagome has to be there when you do it." Rin said, a smile forming on her face. Sango almost chocked on her slice of pepperoni pizza, a blush spreading like wildfire across her cheeks. She knew all of them thought she had a crush on the pervert and they would make a cute couple. But Sango was to stubborn to own up to her feelings or give into Miroku's advances.

'There is no way in hell; I'm going to touch that pervert's ass!' Sango thought angrily as she heard her friend's laugh at the blush that was still on her face. Sighing when she realized that it was a dare and she had to do it, Sango nodded.

"Alright, my turn. Ummm….Kana. Truth or dare?" Sango asked, eating her slice of pizza.

"Umm….Truth." she said. She made a vow to never pick dare when she was with them. The last time she did, she had to kiss an older guy on the lips in front of his girlfriend! That didn't go to well with the girlfriend because it almost resulted in a fight. But once they told her that it was a dare every thing was okay, but not before the girlfriend slashed her tires.

"Would you ever dye your hair?" Sango asked, drinking some of her water.

"Nope, I don't think I'd look right." Kana replied, pulling on her pure white locks.

"Yeah you would, little sis." Kagura said, ruffling her little sister's hair. Kagura was the enforcer in the group. She didn't take shit from anyone and would stick up for her friends. She had blood red eyes and a pale complexion just like Kana. She had her long black hair in a bun with two black chop sticks in them. Kagura was wearing a black tank top and black shorts. Just like Kana she didn't attend their school.

"Hey!" Kana whined, hitting Kagura lightly on the shoulder. Kagura shrugged and took another slice of cheese pizza from the third box. "Okay let's see. Rin….Truth or Dare?"

"Truth"

"Is it true that you like Shippou Fox?" Kana asked. Rin blushed and nodded her head, shyly. Kana had heard Kagome and Sango talking about how Rin and this guy named Shippou, would make a cute couple.

"Okay, Kagome. Truth or Dare." Rin asked.

"Dare."

Remembering what Kagome told them what happened between her and Rin's two older brothers, Rin had the perfect dare to give her.

"I dare you to kiss Sesshoumaru on the lips tomorrow." She said with a smirk.

Kagome almost chocked on air.

Reminder: Okay I confused a lot of people in this chapter, I'm very sorry. At first I put Rin was Sesshoumaru's daughter and such. To clear the air; Sesshoumaru is Rin's older brother. The setting is still in February going on March. Inuyasha's birthday passed making him 18. Sesshoumaru's birthday is in July (I moved it) making him about to turn 19. So he is still older, ladies and gents. Kagome, Miroku, Rin, Sango, Shippou and Livi are 17. They are all seniors. Yes you can be a 17 and a senior. Oh and Kagome's eyes are blue . I'm sorry if I mixed you guys up. And I'm sorry if I misspelled any of the names. Typing fast gets you no where .

Any questions or concerns that needed to be cleared up, feel free to leave a review because I do read those and I do appreciate you for doing so. Or you can e-mail me at rikku (underscore) angel (underscore) 88(at) hotmail (dot) com.
